I think clichés are there for a reason. They should not be messed with. Not in any form, shape, or way.

I know I'm weird about football...but I'm maybe not that weird. Each to their own, though

I jogged over this footbridge a couple of weeks ago. I’d like to think it wasn’t me jogging over it that did the damage

A warning sign indicates that the footbridge ahead is closed due to the risk of falling through.

The old chap seems to be losing it...but he reminds me of someone senior in my first job who said that to stay technical in IT you really had to "make those electrons get up and dance" That was a slightly daft thing to say too, but it's stayed with me, nearly 40 years on

Sober October sounds great and all but I'm betting those people don't have to watch my team play football today

I admire the ambition….but I would take some convincing.

A BBC Radio 4 Archive on 4 program titled The Grateful Dead Are More Important Than The Beatles is scheduled for 10 October 2026, featuring a quote by novelist Ken Kesey about the band's unique musical approach.

I did enjoy watching football I'm mildly interested in, rather than football that is gut-wrenchingly, brain-fryingly stressful

I think I don't remember individual incidents so well from matches I was at. If I'd been at home I'd have immediately seen half a dozen replays. In the stadium I was probably too busy celebrating to look at the big screen, and really just registered we'd put one past West Ham

It’s the first day since around April that I’ve been able to go out whenever I want without sunscreen. Woohoo!

Salisbury is experiencing sunny intervals at 68°F with a UV index forecast ranging from 0 to 2, indicating that sun protection is generally not required unless near water, snow, or outside for a long time.

Do you remember I mentioned The Haunting of Hill House?! Well, let’s just say I have only just got over the trauma. But it was an awesome theatre production and I totally recommend you go see it before it goes on tour. www.wiltshirecreative.co.uk/events/the-h...

This much I know. #1 If the people in a BBC Radio 4 comedy have regional accents, then it will probably funny. If they don’t, then it probably won’t. Note 1: in this context, ‘London’ counts as a regional accent Note 2: YMMV

I didn’t watch the proper 70 UP but I very much enjoyed this 1965 off-shoot. Hats were clearly very much a thing for older women at the time. Watched: 70 Up: The Victorians 🍿
